If you aren't using some sort of dialing software (like PPPOE), then I
think you have the wrong gateway address, the wrong IP address (for
your PC), or the wrong network mask. Verifying that these are correct
(by calling the ISP), couldn't hurt.
If you are using PPPOE or some similar "dialing" software, then I'd
put my bets on that. Since I don't use PPPOE, someone else would have
to chime in. Also, you might want to check out www.deja.com/usenet to
see if you can come up with
Ready for a long shot? Try changing your netmask to 255.255.248.0
It seems that windoze forwards to a gateway
even when it isn't in the IP/subnet for the
given interface.
I was looking at this article ICYWW (in case you were wondering):
http://x74.deja.com/getdoc.xp?AN=599734408&search=thread&CONTEXT=961100184.1883570176&HIT_CONTEXT=961100081.1882587142&HIT_NUM=17&hitnum=3
If that doesn't work, email me your IP address, netmask, and gateway
IP address
and I'll see what I can do. Don't send it to the list, email it to
me.
